"...Okay, dragon, we're here," Kaelan says as he enters and comes up to me. Since I still can't speak, I just look at him, waiting for him to approach.

"I'll take you inside. If you try to escape, you'll have trouble," he says as he grabs the cage and simply lifts it, leaving me surprised. The cage, as I noticed, seemed extremely durable and heavy.

And then there's my weight too. I don't think I'm that light I must weigh at least 60 kilos, maybe more considering the wings and tail that have their own weight. But he just lifts the cage and puts it on his back.

"..." He starts walking, carrying me. I could attack if I wanted to the tip of my tail could hit the back of his neck. But I ignore that, as it seems more like a test, so there's no reason for me to try.

Besides, Nyzz herself said to stay alive as long as possible until she gets the things I need, so it's better to just be obedient and see how he's going to treat me.

In any case, I've learned a lot from Yara about being feminine. I can take advantage of the benefits of that, I've learned to be more "vulnerable," which increases others' desire to protect me.

Just as I've learned to be more "attractive," something Yara said is important as a natural biological technique of women.

He carries me while I just observe the place until we exit through a door. I feel the scent of fresh air, which is quite pleasant, the sunlight hitting my skin as I breathe deeply.

My wings try to open to enjoy the sun, but they can't, which breaks the initial comfort like a simple experience. I decide not to think too much about it.

I start looking around, seeing a walled mansion. The walls prevent seeing the outside, and the place seems like some kind of heavily protected fortress.

"Do you like what you see? Security is always the top priority. This mansion is made of a material capable of withstanding the attack of 30 furious dragons. You can be sure you'll be safe," he says as he releases the cage on the ground.

"..." One thing I've noticed is that whenever he brings me food and I try to speak, he doesn't understand. It seems there's a cultural barrier due to the race, and even though I understand him, I can't communicate with him.

"I'll let you out, but if you try to fly away, I'll tear the skin of your wings, which takes a long time to recover. So behave," he says, unlocking the cage and pulling me out by my arm.

As soon as my foot touches the grass, I feel the comfortable grass on my feet. It's pleasant and gives me a very good and strange feeling of nature.

'If I need to survive, then seducing Kaelan is the best choice?' Considering that I can't speak, I can't defend myself if he discovers something he shouldn't.

"Let's go inside," he says as he starts walking, holding my arm and pulling me into his mansion.

'...' I feel a strange discomfort and a desire to flee, a bad instinct that I judge comes from the new race I am now. I think even a dragon wouldn't like to be trapped in a place that might have no way back.

"...Don't delay," he says, pulling me with more force. My handcuffed hands and restrained wings don't help much either, as I just sigh and go with him until we enter the mansion's door.

I see many maids and servants, and they all look at me with surprise, as if I were something unusual.

'Why all this surprise at seeing me?' Dragons didn't seem rare in that forest I saw a lot of them.

"Hey, get the cage from the garden and take it to the warehouse. Also, buy clothes, chew toys, and lots of high-quality raw meat, especially chicken," he says as some employees start moving.

Others continue their work in the mansion, while a tall woman with glasses, black hair in a bun, and blue eyes approaches. She seems to be some kind of head maid and has a captivating smile.

"Mei, good that you were nearby. Can you take care of her for me? I need to do something before and don't have time," Kaelan says to the maid, who nods with a smile. Soon, Kaelan leaves me here and starts walking toward the staircase that leads to the upper floor.

"And Mei, don't take off her muzzle. You can remove the rest of the restraints, except the muzzle," he says as he disappears from my sight.

'So her name is Mei... Why this sudden trust?' He treated me like a wild animal the whole time, but now he even said she could remove some of the restraints.

"I understand... I see the Master was very lucky. He found a great find on his little adventure," Mei says with a gentle smile.

"Can I give you a bath?" She asks, and after pondering for a moment, I just accept. She doesn't seem all that bad.

"Follow me. I'll remove your restraints in the bathroom..." She says as she starts moving, going up the stairs. I start following her, a little embarrassed by my current nudity, but trying not to seem suspicious.

'T-This is!!' As she walks in front of me and takes relatively quick steps on the stairs, I see something I wish I hadn't knives, bottles with a strange green liquid, and even a small rope attached to her thigh.

'Now I understand the trust... She must be some kind of trained assassin.' How terrifying. It's a good thing I didn't try anything.

"You know, I think I'll call you Miss Dragon. Is that enough for you?" She asks, looking briefly at me, and I nod. It's not like they know my name.

"Perfect. Do you prefer a flower-scented bath, a neutral one, or something more natural?" She asks, and I just shrug. I can't speak, so I don't know why she asked.

"Prefer cold or hot water? Maybe a warm one?" She asks, and I just shrug again with a sigh.

"...I see, you're quite intelligent if you understand this," she says, and only now did I realize this was some kind of strange test.

"Behave well, and we won't have any problems, okay, Miss Dragon? After all, the Master doesn't like negative surprises and likes a certain degree of order," she says as a piece of advice, and I nod.

We quickly reach a room nearby that she enters, and I see it's a bathroom. It's simple, but well-made.

"May I touch your body, Miss Dragon? I promise I'll try not to be intrusive," she says, and I enter the bathroom, nodding. Resisting won't do me any good.

"..." With my confirmation, she approaches and moves behind me, first releasing the restraint on my wings with skill. Soon, she removes the handcuffs from my hands.

"Please don't try to remove this on your face. The Master will get angry, and you don't want to see him angry. He's someone difficult to deal with when he's mad," she says, as if she's known him since childhood, while holding my shoulders and guiding me to the bathtub.

"You're... much more peaceful than expected. Do you understand the situation you're in?" She asks as she puts me in the bathtub.

'Should I agree or deny?' I kind of know the situation to a certain extent, but I don't understand everything or why things are this way.

"Do you understand exactly what I'm saying?" She asks, and I nod yes, I understand every word she says, I just can't communicate.

...

...

...

"I understand, Miss Dragon. I'll try to interpret things more efficiently," I say as I take the soap to clean this girl's body. I rub the soap on her head, working through her hair.

'She's quite peaceful... but has a problematic look.' I'm good at reading people, and while we assess each other, she's also evaluating the situation, showing good intelligence.

"You don't need to be so modest. We're both girls," I say, seeing how she "hides" too much. My words don't make her less contained as I rinse the soap off her.

"We don't have an exact outfit for you, but you can wear a 'neutral' dress until we take your measurements," I say, taking her out of the bathtub and rinsing her body without being too intrusive.

"..." She seems to be trying to speak, but it's indecipherable to me, and due to the muzzle, it sounds more like a cute little growl.

"The Master will take good care of you if that makes you more comfortable. He's quite rough and wild, but he has a good heart," I say, trying to put her at ease. Besides, it's true.

The Master isn't bad; he just had a difficult life and has always had to act in a rougher and more rigid way with everyone.

"..." She doesn't make any extra signs as I start drying her with a towel. She's undoubtedly very beautiful. I never thought those dangerous beasts could be so beautiful, being closer to a human.

"Please stay here, okay? I'll look for an outfit so you don't walk around the mansion without clothes. Men are quite lustful, and I wouldn't doubt that someone would look at you in a dirty way, even though you're a dragon," I say as a joke.

She doesn't seem to understand, creating an awkward atmosphere as I step away, leaving her with the towel and exiting the room.

'Is the Master really planning to challenge the kingdom in this way?' She's an alpha; even he won't be able to hide that for long. I wonder how he plans to tame this dangerous beast effectively.

'Maybe he could seduce her?' The Master wants to train this dragon, and since she's a beautiful girl, if the Master seduces her, it could work. The Master is very good at conquering girls.

'So I should get a contained but suggestive outfit?' It's a good question. I don't know what the Master wants yet.
